Is it bad of me to say that was embarrassing, we looked blunt, toothless and devoid of ideas?

Nope. The truth hurts sometimes and the Tigers will have a massive hurt to bring to Newcastle and adopt the same form as Sarries did against the Chiefs. I have to say Farrell was sublime.

George Ford had a massive influence on this game, as Sanderson eluded to after the game “George has helped enormously with his experience of Leicester Tigers”

Tigers have never been comfortable playing against rush defence’s, George knows that.

Sale stifled us at the breakdown, and we had no answer to their defence of the rolling maul, their physicality overwhelmed us at times. A combination of on field injuries and missing key personnel namely Wiese and Montoya cost us dearly.

I would still be fairly confident of turning them over with a full 1st XV.

Regarding BT Sport commentators, I do believe that a refresh is required, both Kay and Healy have become too comfortable in their roles and are becoming quite stale. By attempting to appear non bias they have gone too far the other way, almost appearing to be anti Tigers at times, especially Healey.

Healey the lip has morfed into being the TMO as has been demonstrated it enables him to affect the outcome of a match. It's not his role to be officiating games can you imagine a football commentator having an open line to their TMOs

Its time for Healey to go, if not sacked for bias, then suspended from Tigers games, he is very bitter about Tigers, think it goes back to when he wanted to be Head Coach and he wasn't considered.

About time Healey was spoken to by BT sport about his constant calling for the TMO to intervene.

All I want is a big button so I can turn the commentators and pundits off and watch the game as if I was there......with perhaps the addition of ref mic.

Its ludicrous that the TMO gets a commentary feed,they should just get the officials feed.

I would rather listen to Healy & Kay than Dayglo or Monye any day...Flatman though is very good..just dont get him normally on BT.

I think Healy is just disappointed by some of what he sees Tigers playing....he isn't the only one.

no he is blatantly anti-tigers. Always trying to get us a yellow card or disallowed try.
